This should be a fun lesson that will teach you "how to draw a Pokemon". I have a bunch of tutorials online that give you step by step instructions to draw your favorite Pokemon character. Not only is Dragoart full of these tutorials, most of them are drawn neatly, and they are in full color. I have loved Pokemon since I was ten years old, and today I am still a huge fan. My fourteen year old brother is also a big fan of the series and sometimes we will have drawing contests between ourselves to see who can draw the better character. As some or all of you know, Pokemon is an animated series that airs on Cartoon Network. The show mainly follows a young boy named Ash Ketchum, and his favorite Pokemon Pikachu. His traveling partners are Brock and Misty and they are both Gym Leaders. Brock is Gym Leader of Pewter City being an expert on Rock type Pokemon, and Misty is Gym Leader of Cerulean City and she is an expert on Water type Pokemon. As for Ash, his real name is Satoshi, and he starts off the series as a Pokemon trainer from Pallet Town. He was given his first Pokemon by Professor Oak to start him off with. In the show nowadays, he still travels with Brock, but Misty is replaced by Dawn. Their goal now is to earn the last badge in Sinnoh called the Beacon Badge. The Pokemon that I wanted for this lesson is Raichu. This specie of Pokemon is a small bipedal rodent that looks a lot like Pickachu. Raichu is an electric type, and it also falls in the mouse Pokemon species category. All in all no matter what type of species you decide to draw, learning "how to draw Pokemon step by step" is fun, and entertaining. I will be back with more lessons on the way. In the mean time try out this tutorial while you wait to see what pops up next. Peace peeps!

How to Draw Pokemon

STEP 1.

Let's have some fun shall we. Start this step by drawing two circles shapes with the one on top being smaller than the bottom one. Add the facial guidelines for Raichu, and then draw the guidelines for his mouse like legs.

STEP 2.

You can now start sketching out the shape of Raichu's face and body as you see here. Once that is done you can then draw in the small circles for his eyes, and be sure to color them in. You will also need to draw the beginning lines for his sharp shaped ears as well.

STEP 3.

Finish drawing out the shape of the right ear and then be sure to draw that wispy swirl too. Finish drawing the Pokemon's face which includes the nose, mouth, and cheeks. Next draw the stubby looking arms and add the marking line that separates the two colors.

STEP 4.

You are already almost done with this tutorial on how to draw Pokemon. Finish sketching out the body which is really easy, and then draw the shapes of the kangaroo like legs and feet. Lastly, draw the Pokemon's belly marking line as well as the two strips on the back.

STEP 5.

Now that you are on your last drawing step, you should have no problems drawing out the shape of Raichu's tail. Since he is an electric Pokemon, the tip of his tail should resemble a lightning bolt. Once that is complete you can start erasing all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one.

STEP 6.

You just learned how to draw a Pokemon step by step"! See how fun and easy that was. You can now color in Raichu and add this Pokemon to your growing collection. Join me next time for more drawing fun.
